Letra[]
[Estrofa 1]
Think it's time I cut the line
And lift the blinds, and pull myself together
Took to long to move along
It feels so wrong to abandon all the effort
[Pre-Coro 1]
Bringing out the blade and trimming all the strands
Tying all the loose ends, pulling rubber bands
Thimble on my thumb, there's a mess when
Covering the blood on his hands
Can't believe I fell for turning all the screws
Never really worked, it always wouldn't do
All the corridors we went through
Only led me right back to you
[Coro 1]
As long as we're connected
By thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna patch it, stitch it back together
Wear you like a sweater, baby
As long as we're untangled
My feelings will unravel
Wouldn't it be easy? Fix it with a needle
Wear you like a sweater, baby
[Estrofa 2]
It's too hard, I'm hanging on
Just by the yarn, uncover all the lessons
There's no harm in tearing off broken cloth
To sever the connection
[Pre-Coro 2]
Bringing out the blade and trimming all the strands
Tying all the loose ends, pulling rubber bands
Thimble on my thumb, there's a mess when
Covering the blood on his hands
[Coro 2]
As long as we're connected
By thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna patch it, hide under the covers
Hold you like a blanket, baby
As long as we're untangled
My feelings will unravel
Wouldn't it be easy? Go back to the comfort
Hold you like a blanket, baby
[Outro]
As long as we're connected
By thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna hang it, sew a tapestry
Stare at it forever, baby
As long as we're untangled
My feelings will unravel
Why can't it be easy? Sew a tapestry
Look at you forever, baby
[Estrofa]
Think it's time I cut the line
And lift the blinds, abandon all the effort
Think it's time I cut the line
And lift the blinds, abandon all the effort
[Pre-Coro]
Bringing out the blade and trimming all the strands
Tying all the loose ends, pulling rubber bands
Thimble on my thumb, there's a mess when
Covering the blood on his hands
Bringing out the blade and trimming all the strands
Tying all the loose ends, pulling rubber bands
Thimble on my thumb, there's a mess when
Covering the blood on his hands
[Coro]
As long as we're connected
By thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna patch it, stitch it back together
Wear you like a sweater, baby
As long as we're untangled
My feelings will unravel
Wouldn't it be easy? Fix it with a needle
Wear you like a sweater, baby
